I recently have been reading a popular book for chronic health conditions by Anthony Williams called “Medical Medium”. He gives advice on what foods and supplements to take to restore health and supposedly has a huge following. He claims most chronic autoimmune type diseases are caused by a variety of viruses that over time wreak havoc on your body. His information is given to him by a “spirit”. The information in his book actually sounds plausible, even though he has no medical background. When I first got the book, I skipped his personal information about this “gift” and how he got it, and basically just read what foods and supplements to take. However, I just read more about him, and find it a bit disturbing. He says this “spirit” told him he sits directly under God and tells him what is wrong with people and what they should do to heal themselves. I am now a little uncomfortable having this book in my house and wondering if I should get rid of it. I have been following his protocol for a few weeks and hate to give it up now. I also am hesitant to throw the book away because of the recipes he has in them. However, I know any “gift” of this type is either from God or from the evil one and it doesn’t sound like it’s from God. Any advice?
 
You could ignore the spiritual stuff, and to the extent he is saying anything actually intelligent about nutrition and health, such as cut down on sugar or fat or something, pay attention to that instead. I would also suggest discussing any big dietary changes with your doctor.

Anthony Williams likely did not even write this book himself. They get ghostwriters to pad out basic diet advice, much of which is already public knowledge or something doctors have been advocating for years, with a whole lot of fluff like testimonials or all this “a spirit/ angel/ etc. told it to me” baloney, to get people to buy the book and to make the book a book-length writing instead of a pamphlet.

This Anthony Williams sounds like just another huckster to me. The world is full of Elmer Gantrys.
 
Medicine is a science, not a matter for revelation. I smell a charlatan here.
 
Sounds like a book which would make good material for a fire.

Wanna know the secret to weight loss?

Consume less calories than you use.

This is generally achieved by a healthier diet and increased exercise.

PM me and I’ll tell you where to send my $39.95 for giving you the secret to weight loss.
 
Thx for (name removed by moderator)ut but my problem isn’t weight. It’s other issues I’ve had since being diagnosed with Epstein Barr virus 6 years ago. His book actually is about his theory of autoimmune diseases being caused by a virus, which in turn causes mysterious symptoms that doctors don’t know how to address, other than medication. I guess my question really is, if he is a true “medium”, is that always the occult? And if so, would having the book in my house (even if I’m only following ideas for food and supplements and not his spirituality) be problematic.

Yes. Necessarily!

Two possible views: natural and preternatural.
1ºNatural: If the ideas in the book are either: bad for your health or bad for your thinking.
2ºPretenatural: Some curse/spell was placed on the book. Without wanting to fall into superstition, many believe this is possible. How would you detect this? It isn’t possible to be sure - except by some extraordinary gift from God to a person or an angel telling you. Since those are both unlikely to happen, be at peace and search your conscience. If the book gives you an uneasy conscience, get rid of the book. If it doesn’t trouble you, then you probably wouldn’t be asking.

Now, the bible says we should seek the advice of a good doctor. And there is no short amount of information on the NET. I’m pretty sure you can get a book written by a Medical Doctor on the same subject if you research or ask. And that, would in all ways be wiser and more prudent than reading a suspicious non medical author writing about medicine for which he has no scientific credentials.

Go see a doctor, have faith in God, educate yourself on your medical condition, and take good care of yourself.

God bless.

I will give an extra commentary. Anthony Williams follows the “Kardecist” line of “Spiritism” which is a declared or implicit “invocation of spirits” - apparently implicit in his case. There have been hundreds (thousands) of authors like him published in the last 150 years. Too many to mention or grasp. They are quite dangerous in what they say and what they do.
Catechism 2117. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it.

One of the meanders referencing him is “New Conscious Review” who also publish on subjects like:“Cannabidiol for health and the brain”, “Afterlife comments on para-physical”, “human biofield”, “light therapy”, “multidimensional travel”, “naked in the woods” [please do laugh about this one 🤣😂], “spiritual telepathy”, and many many others…
